Ep. 526 | Dyslexia & Elite Athletes: The Hidden Sports AdvantageSports Chasers Interview Sessions | June 8, 2026Muhammad Ali. Magic Johnson. Tim Tebow. Nolan Ryan. Elite. Decorated. Legendary. And all dyslexic. In this Sports Chasers Interview Session, host Kevin L. Warren sits down with Russell Van Brocklen — The Dyslexia Professor — for one of the most unexpected and powerful conversations in Sports Chasers history.Russell draws on Yale-based science from Dr. Sally Shaywitz's Overcoming Dyslexia to explain why dyslexic learners aren't broken — they're built differently. And in high-strategy positions like quarterback, that difference may be an outright competitive advantage.
The New York Knicks are 2026 NBA CHAMPIONS. Sports Chasers went live the moment it happened — Kevin L.

We break down Jalen Brunson's 45-point Game 5 and his Finals MVP run, the Knicks erasing double-digit deficits in every win, Mike Brown's crunch-time coaching, the Leon Rose front-office build, and the role players — Josh Hart, OG Anunoby and more — who got it done. We also clap back at the doubters, talk Thursday's parade, and preview our full Monday breakdown.

“Remember to give your team time to shine.” – Samantha BeelerWelcome to episode 235 of The CUInsight Experience podcast with your hosts, Randy Smith, co-founder of CUInsight, and Jilly Nowacki, President and CEO of Humanidei.This episode is sponsored by Trellance. Trellance is a leading technology partner for credit unions, delivering innovative technology solutions to help credit unions achieve more. With a comprehensive suite of analytics, cloud and talent solutions, the Trellance team ensures credit unions increase efficiency, manage risk, and improve member experience. Learn more here!In this new 2026 season, Jilly and I will have conversations centered around leadership, credit unions, and living our best lives. We will have some of the most respected leaders from around credit unions who we are grateful to call friends join us in the discussion from time to time too.This week on the podcast, we welcome back Samantha Beeler, President of The League of Credit Unions & Affiliates. She returns to the podcast to discuss what it looks like to live and lead well at the same time. We talk about how success on paper can still feel hollow when it comes at the expense of presence, health, or the people we care about and how many leaders learn that achievement alone doesn't hold up as a definition of a good life.Listen in as we share how those lessons rarely arrive in one dramatic moment but instead build through seasons, habits, missteps, and small course corrections. From missed boundaries to rules about disconnecting, we reflect on what it means to step back from making efforts to be constantly available and challenge the idea that being always-on is a requirement for being effective. Listen as Samantha opens up about the real tradeoffs behind leadership decisions—including times when she pushed too hard, learned from it, and began relying more intentionally on boundaries and the people around her to keep her grounded.Throughout our conversation, we return to the idea that leadership is shaped just as much by who surrounds us as by anything we accomplish on our own. Mentors, peers, teams, and even family members all play big roles in helping us see ourselves more clearly and adjust when we drift off course. We also discuss the pressure leaders often feel to be everywhere, know everything, and never miss an opportunity and how that mindset can quietly pull life out of alignment. We hope that you enjoy our insightful conversation with Samantha Beeler!

Patagonia isn't just scaling mountains. They're scaling through affiliate strategy. This episode's guest, Cricket Treanor, went from the sales floor to HQ's Affiliate Marketing and Ecom team. When it comes to partnerships, they're thinking outside the box: cash back with Rakuten, listicles of the “best jackets”, and speaking out about social issues, to name a few. What should you do as a brand when you don't lean heavily into loyalty and deals? And, Cricket debunks some misconceptions about the affiliate space.

Plus, Patagonia is more than just selling products, they're aiming to bring environmental awareness and sustainability efforts to their audience. How does the buy-back program contribute to Marketing strategy? In a world of overconsumption, how do you get customers excited about new products when overconsumption contradicts the brand mission? If you're a Marketer who wants to learn more about how partnerships, affiliate strategy, and digital marketing all play a role in scaling, this is the episode for you.

What if the boldest thing a nonprofit could do isn't fight to survive alone, but choose to grow together? In this episode, Jay Deppeler, Senior Executive Vice President and Chief Development Officer at Inperium, shares how a 25-year journey through the health and human services sector led him to one of the most revolutionary models in nonprofit leadership. Imperium now operates across 20 states with 34 affiliates and more than $800 million in revenue, all without erasing a single organization's identity or mission. Jay didn't start in boardrooms. He started as a 19-year-old psychology student working with traumatized kids in a residential treatment facility, wondering why the systems around them weren't better. That question never left him. And when he met Ryan Dewey Smith in 2016, it found its answer. [00:04:40] What He Does and Who He Serves Senior EVP and Chief Development Officer at Inperium, a nonprofit-supporting organization Inperium strengthens health and human service nonprofits without eroding their mission or local identity Affiliates gain scale, infrastructure, and capital while keeping their name, vision, and values [00:05:40] How He Got Here Started as a 19-year-old psychology student working with traumatized kids in a residential treatment facility Saw 84 kids at full capacity with interventions he felt weren't robust enough Pursued a master's in counseling psychology at Lehigh University to go deeper into the work Realized the people he was helping were supported by nonprofits that needed to be stronger at the systems level [00:09:00] Building Edison Court Became president and CEO of Edison Court in 2012 and led its first ever strategic plan Faced a major funding shift from program funding to fee-for-service and later managed care Tried and failed to recruit other nonprofits to grow together; ego and identity concerns blocked every attempt Decided to raise his hand and look for a larger partner instead; that partner was Inperium [00:11:20] Meeting Ryan Dewey Smith Met Ryan in August 2016 in King of Prussia, Pennsylvania Ryan introduced the concept of affiliation as distinct from merger or acquisition Affiliating organizations keep their mission, vision, and values while gaining back office support Jay was persuaded immediately; eight months later Edison Court became Inperium's third affiliate [00:13:00] What Affiliation Actually Looks Like Within three months of affiliating, Edison Court opened its first facility outside its home county Went back to organizations that had said no and showed them what was possible; they all came in Helped the Children's Home of Reading, on the brink of insolvency after 150 years, with a $400,000 loan to make payroll That organization restructured, re-strategized, and is now flourishing [00:17:40] The Relationship That Changed Everything: Ryan Dewey Smith Without Ryan's vision, Jay believes Edison Court would not have survived the funding shifts Ryan's energy and audacity know no bounds; he never runs from a problem He gives his leadership team full latitude to leverage their unique skills His can-do attitude was transformative in 2016 and remains so today [00:21:40] When Everyone Ran for the Hills In 2024 an organization with $300 million in revenue lost $26 million over two fiscal years Their bank was calling a $22 million line of credit on May 31st; cash would run out by early July That put 3,800 employees and 35,000 people supported by the organization at serious risk Inperium was the only organization that stepped in with a $25 million line of credit [00:25:40] The Federally Qualified Health Center The organization had a federally qualified healthcare center that couldn't affiliate under Inperium's governance structure Losing it would have left thousands of underserved people in Philadelphia without healthcare Jay brokered a deal with a local healthcare center to underwrite a new 501c3 and reapply for the federal grant Within seven days of recording, they will be a fully operational new federally qualified health center [00:29:00] Affiliation Is a Strategy, Not a Surrender Boards resist affiliation because they fear losing their identity; Inperium lets them keep it Affiliation is not concession; it is a strategic pivot to deal with the realities of the world For-profit businesses do this constantly; nonprofits tend to leave their pragmatic hats at the door No money, no mission; no margin, no mission; the work has to be run like a business KEY QUOTES "Affiliation isn't concession. Affiliation isn't giving up. Affiliation is a strategy to pivot and deal with the realities of the world." - Jay Deppeler "If you have no money, you have no mission.
